Step-by-Step Instructions for Neapolitan Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of light brown sugar until smooth.
- Add in one large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the dough into three portions, adding cocoa powder to one, strawberry powder (and food coloring) to another, and leaving the third as vanilla.
- Roll each colored dough portion into small cylinders and layer in the order of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
- Roll in granulated sugar and place on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
